So i got my new PC up and running and installed unRAID on it

there is a docker container for rtorrent which includes rtorrent+rutorrent+VPN+privproxy (support for PIA portforwarding automatically)

Downloaded kali linux + ubuntu desktop 19.10+ ubuntu server 19.10 + a new well seeded torrent from a linux tracker.
Without VPN on in docker the speeds were hit or miss, But with PIA vpn connected and auto portforwarding i saw download speeds of over 70 MBPS+ unraid stats shows me i reached a maximum of 780 mbps+
and got a newly uploaded torrent (2GB in size) from a public tracker uploads on that reached over 70 MBPS again and in under few hours it reached a ratio of 78! before I stopped the torrent.

on private trackers hitting 1.0 ratio was hard but it looks like i'm able to do it but i'd need to look into it more
maximum speeds on private torrent uploads was about 400 mbps but no doubt on most trackers you'll get beat out by seedboxes if you're planning on racing.

OpenVPN does take some processing power from the limited testing at around 60+ MBPS upload / download the OpenVPN used about 70-100% CPU on single thread (i have a 16 core 32 thread CPU) running at around 3.5-4GHZ. But this can definitely improve in the future once the VPN providers start supporting wiregaurd VPN and when / if the docker container i'm using adds support for it

using PIA on windows with qbittorrent couldn't ever match the results i get now

But it also depends on which server you're connected on and on which subnet you're on since few subnets just have very bad routing

 

[Sushubh]

yeah it's sad that pia is still not supporting wireguard even in beta.

 

[The_PC_Guy]

they have sponsored it but have no ETA on when its coming one of my friends from USA did give me access to mullvad wiregaurd config sometime back but weirdly it used to lock me at 100 mbps.

but with now that PIA was brought by the parent company of cyberghost and others i have very little hope that they'll push wiregaurd out soon

still getting crappy speeds downloading from seedbox to my pc via cuteftp

its like a hit & trial system. keep restarting cuteftp & hoping that i get good speeds or wait for a while & try and then sometimes it starts getting the full speeds.

i am open to suggestions here. seedbox won't do anything about it - they just closed my complaints. also, the routing is being done via spectra as i saw my traffic being routed even if i hit other sites.

EDIT:
not all traffic is being routed via the same route by spectra so i am not sure if its spectra or seedbox who is routing the traffic. all i know is its taking a really long way and thus the shitty speeds.

 

[The_PC_Guy]

You can try to run traceroute both from your pc to seedbox and from Seedbox to your IP to check if takes unnecessary hops but spectra won't fix even if it does
Try other Seedbox provider
Try both plain ftp or ftps and sftp
Your Seedbox might also provide a way to download using http/ https then you can use a Downloader like idm and get the files using that

 

[potlu213]

unfortunately nothing works...

http(s) using IDM - same speeds
ftp/ftps/sftp - same speeds

there are no seedboxes this cheap i could find.

already did tracert and posted results on this thread some time back. however, i don't think it makes any difference. yesterday night, i did get full speeds later on and so i did a tracert again. guess what, it was still taking the same long route that it took when i was getting crappy speeds. the only thing i can surmise is that its a shared seedbox and i get bad speeds when someone else is hogging it. i guess thats something i ll just have to live with. dedicated seedboxes are too expensive for me.

 

[The_PC_Guy]

There are better shared Seedboxes too i got mine on a biannual sale from USB cost me about 9USD per month advanced paid for two years
3TB storage 20TB upload bandwidth
And I max out my 1gbps spectra connection

Also it's been a few days running rtorrent with PIA VPN using unraid on my new PC I have reached speeds of over 800mbps and get great ratios even on private trackers

 

[The_PC_Guy]

okay didn't want to create a new thread and since we were already talking about PIA,
did anyone notice PIA India server disappear for few days?
when i was doing few more tests today noticed it was back though i dont have data from previous server looks like they might have changed their DC

speeds used to be around 10-30 mbps at max for me dont remember the latency though
but on the new DC located in mumbai i get 30ish ms ping and speeds over 200-500mbps (using their speed test service) and looks like the server is only capable of 4gbps total load but gives much better result thanbefore

Earlier PIA used HostDime Delhi but they severed ties with them and now they use WebWerks Mumbai. Now only IPVanish uses HostDime Delhi
